INGRID GERBERICK - BE A BETTER PERSON April 2015

INGRID GERBERICK - BE A BETTER PERSONBE A BETTER PERSON: is a series of small-scale textile works illustrating a collection of viable adages, banished thoughts and visual one-liners; both exploring and humourously critiquing the quest for self-improvement and personal growth. Intimate and decorative, the pieces are a nod to the North American women's tradition of embroidering religious or inspirational texts. While the traditional texts were produced primarily as household reminders to oneself and one's family of how best to live, Be A Better Person uses humour, cliche and confession to document personal best intentions,failures and doubts to a greater audience.
